The price of Nubia Flip 5G will start from $599 (roughly Rs. 50,000). This initial price tag would make it a budget foldable phone. For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 with a similar vertical display has a starting price tag of $999 (roughly Rs. 82,000) in the US, while the Oppo Find N3 Flip’s price starts at CNY 6,799 (roughly Rs. 77,000) in China.
